How long should you wait before you suspect someone being a scammer? If you go green and 3 days later, they don't return PMs, but you can tell that they read them, what should you do?

Is there a way to pull your ref from somebody that scams you?

Who did you trade with on the board?

cellphonejunkie. Not saying he is a scammer, just wondering how long I should wait with no contact before I start to wonder.

As for pulling your ref, a support ticket on almost any site will get your removed from that person's ref list. D

Hi...I am also having problems with this guy..."cellphonejunkie"

I went green for him about a week ago and have not even recieved a PM from him and he has not even signed up for my site. Can I pull my ref for him from gamingsystem.freepay.com? Also, did he ever get back to anyone that had a problem with him before?

Sorry I never updated. The trade went fine and he explained everything to me. I was/am new and jumped the gun. Sorry about that.
